⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Velvet78]

AS continues to write like Chelsea are preparing a big move for Gavi this summer. However I don't want to believe this even a bit. Because Gavi has already extended his current contract and put an enormous release clause of 1 billion euros into it. There is no reason for Gavi to change his mind and sign for Chelsea all of a sudden. Before anything else Barcelona are much more successful now.

Besides Gavi is very eager to be a part of Barcelona for many more years. Even if Barcelona say okay for a price Gavi himself wouldn't like to leave the team anyway.

Finally, ten hag already published so many names that will be sold in summer by the club. Since there are so many old players who were not able to meet tenhag's expectations. Some names like mctominay and meguire already got intentions from other teams like newcastle and leicester city. It's not clear what's gonna be the future of the rest of players. Ten hag has been committing to doing regeneration for the squads. This is actually overhaul for the team. As long as MU will be selling those players at cheap price and I think that it's not so difficult to sell all of them in summer.
It's actually true if ten hag is very mad to the club after a very bad result against sevilla. Some names already targeted like raphinha from barcelona and many more.

Anthony Elanga: The talent broke out as a great talent but has lost continuity over the months. There is a lot of interest in securing his signature, either on loan or on a permanent transfer.

Eric Bailly: The former Villarreal man, on loan at Marseille, does not feature in the club's plans.

Alex Telles: On loan at Sevilla this season. His permanent departure will be sought in the summer.

Harry Maguire: Although with Gareth Southgate's England he has maintained his role, at United he has lost his place in the XI. He has cache in the Premier League.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka: Ten Hag is targeting a new right-back to compete with Diogo Dalot and that leaves him out even though he has had minutes lately.

Donny van de Beek: Since his arrival from Ajax, he has not taken off. His contract runs out in 2025 and even Ten Hag has not been able to get him back on track.

Brandon Williams: The left-back has barely played five minutes in the League Cup this season. He has no place there.

Anthony Martial: Will this be the year of his definitive exit? He has fallen far short of the expectations he raised when he arrived at Old Trafford from Monaco. It may be a sale to make cash.

Facundo Pellistri: Everything points to the Uruguayan, who had minutes at Qatar 2022, renewing his contract ... but will go out on loan to earn minutes.

Amad Diallo: He has been on loan several times, but at Old Trafford they believe that the former Atalanta player is not yet ready for the first team.

Victor Lindelof: Like Maguire, he has been left without a place in Manchester United's XI.

Phil Jones: His contract expires on June 30 and is not in Manchester United's plans. Another central defender who will leave.

Scott McTominay: Although he is having a remarkable 2023, Ten Hag has other plans for the midfield. And the Scotsman does not fit in them

Al-Nassr is aiming to sign one of two candidates for the manager position there. These candidates are Zidane and Mourinho according to rumours.

It is really like nearly impossible in my opinion that they can convince Zidane to go there now. Of course I can't imagine how much money they can offer him but still I don't expect Zidane to choose this way for now. He is intending to manage France national team for now and even if he decides to manage a normal team instead I would expect him to manage PSG for example. When it comes to Mourinho this is realistic to me. Because he is already likely to leave Roma if rumours turn out to be true. I don't think he would refuse a huge offer from Al-Nassr.

According the rumor Jose Mourinho linked will be AL Nassr manager after sacking Rudi Garcia, but I did sure with The Special One want to leave Europe team and joining with not really competitive league although fantastic salary offering. Zidane seems not really interested back to be manager after retired several years ago, he still enjoyed moment without become manager on any team yet after linking become France national team manager but failed with Deschamp extended his contract.

I want to see Jose Mourinho back to be Primer League team manager because there are many competitive team and looking war again how his reputation with Primer League team from Chelsea until Manchester United.

Any player that is targeting to join Chelsea might be because of the love for the club or money. Chelsea is not doing well currently and the club is highly unstable. Although they will remain in the premier league and still have the financial power they might not be in the champions league next year. And their performance in the game against Real shows no sign that they can upturn the deficit. But I am sure Chelsea's next season will be better than this present one if they can get a good coach. Todd Boehly just wasted close to half a billion dollars without any single good result. And it is clear that the owners of Chelsea are not willing to stop buying anytime soon.

Two of these drives sportsmen: money and passion. If Zidane is passionate to become the next French National team coach, he has to overcome the temptation of money. The Saudi league will be willing to pay as much as possible to get his services. He has been out of a job for a long time and I am assuming that he has learned some new strategies.

[harapan]

Yeah but it's a cheap rumorr though ... it says barcelona setting the price really high on him which means even if it's true .. chelsea won't spend a single penny on such non sense price tag for a standard player like rapinha , we'll wait for it .. fabrizio still our number 1 source.

Chelsea were willing to pay a rediculous fee for his signature last summer before the deal was hijacked by Barcelona, so what's stopping Chelsea from signing him for a high amount this time around? Besides Chelsea have spent a lot of money on players they shouldn't be spending that much money on recently so I can't put nothing past them.

Gavi wont be leaving Barcelona any time soon. He doesn't want to leave, the club doesn't want him to leave. Offers will definitely come because he's a good player but he wont be leaving Barcelona, let alone go to Chelsea. The rumors will hold more weight if it was Liverpool. Liverpool have always been interested in signing Gavi, but he wont be leaving Barcelona.

Zinedine Zidane is probably in a good position to replace the former coach but I don't think that the frenchman will accept the proposal. Jose Mourinho managing AS Roma and he's not ready to exit the club because he still have unfinished business in Italy. Giving the club their first Conference Europa League trophy was a big achievement, they got more targets to hits this season. Al-Nassr is a top club in Saudi Arabia league and the board sacked their coach. Looking for an experience coach is the necessary quality the club needs currently.

What is so special about European coaches that made you think that they will decline the offers of Al-Nassr? Ronaldo right now is the highest paid footballer in the world and there is a rumor that Al-Hilal is making attempt to make Messi accept good deal as well. When R7 was offer such amount, he never thought about it twice because the money is a good pay, I believe once they put good amount for Mourinho and Zidane, they will accept without thinking twice, everyone in football now do it for the money unlike the early days where people put love of the club first before the money.

Zidane seems not really interested back to be manager after retired several years ago, he still enjoyed moment without become manager on any team yet after linking become France national team manager but failed with Deschamp extended his contract.

Al nassr already offered him a very big salary. The problem is mounrinho is not interested in managing the arabian club right now. He is still enjoying to focus in the european club. The chance for him to join with al nassr is still low right now. According to the latest rumor if mourinho was prioritizing PSG rather than joining with non europa club. Mourinho has been clarrifying if he was not putting money as everything in his life, He is still wanna achieving more and more achievements before he will be retiring from managing the club. The special one is always act differently compared with another coach.

I want to see Jose Mourinho back to be Primer League team manager because there are many competitive team and looking war again how his reputation with Primer League team from Chelsea until Manchester United.

Me too but let's see how all the stories will be going on. I meant the chance for mourinho to go back to the chelsea is really big at this moment. At the same time, enrique may be a coach with the biggest potential to coaching chelsea started from the next season.
It will always be surprise to see which team that the coach will pick.

I've heard that Chelsea are planning another move for Raphinha in the summer. You know how Barcelona joined the race for signing him and stole him from Chelsea's hands as well. Chelsea must be planning a retaliation but I don't know about this. Because it seems like a far possibility for me to see him leaving Barcelona for Chelsea now. It wouldn't be better for him to join a team that won't be a part of the Champions League next season.

I just hope this is a rumor because it will be a very big mistakes and might get the FFP on our neck as we spent so much just last January window and now planning on doing the same this summer transfer window. I don't think Chelsea needs another wingers we already have them numerous that some aren't getting enough playing time to get used to the premier league. Under the owners are looking to offload lots of the players we already have at the club, I'll suggest they only go for a striker and a manager this window.

Already we won't be looking attractive to most players unless we'll be ready to convince them with our paycheck, Chelsea doesn't have a champion league spot not even a Europa spot as well so anybody signing for Chelsea this summer has to be okay with not playing any of those tournament and just fucus on winning the league next season and that's why we need a manager and a striker that'll come help Chelsea out of this nightmare they're currently in.

Contractual problem
Gavi began the season with a ‘B’ team registration at Camp Nou despite having already played a World Cup with Spain, because he was still a minor aged 17. On 15 September last year, the player from Seville penned a new contract with Barcelona which runs through to 2026. This contract was registered by Barça with LaLiga at 11:59 p.m. on 31 January just as the winter transfer window ended. LaLiga refused to accept the document under Financial Fair Play regulations along with Barcelona’s debts. Gavi was able to temporarily play with the number 6 shirt and play under a standard first team registration temporarily as the case went through the courts.
https://en.as.com/soccer/chelsea-set-to-break-the-bank-for-gavi-n/

There were reports that Gavi's contract was not registered because they did not meet the LaLiga salary cap. This is a serious problem. Other teams offering to give Gavi more money could get him to leave Barcelona. Barcelona are keeping Gavi on a temporary basis this season. They need to get over their financial fairplay issues and convince Gavi to stay at Barcelona. Otherwise, it is spoken in the press that Gavi will technically be a free football player next season.

As long as MU will be selling those players at cheap price and I think that it's not so difficult to sell all of them in summer.
It's actually true if ten hag is very mad to the club after a very bad result against sevilla. Some names already targeted like raphinha from barcelona and many more.

~snip~

Of the 13 names that Erik ten Hag plans to sell with the club, I think Wan Bissaka and McTominay are still good enough for Manchester United. I don't know what Erik ten Hag was thinking until he released the names of his very many players, especially apart from the names of the two players I mentioned above, it is true that the others had no contribution to the club and only added to the burden on the club. For Raphinha I don't think that he will want to leave Barcelona to go to another club because he is still very comfortable with Barcelona so far.

I disagree with you about Gavi leaving Barcelona, we know Gavi is the gem for Barcelona because of his age and he is a player who start playing for Barcelona B also he had an outstanding performance so far in this season which can be a reason for him to even have interesting offers in the other hand the salary he gets is too high for Barcelona so I think Gavi is really going to leave Barcelona soon.

You're correct, I saw a video where Lewandowksi having fun with Gavi on the training field, so there's a good chemistry between Lewa and Gavi. Gavi also have a good chemistry with Pedri, they both are bromance and usually when someone talk about Gavi, there's should be Pedri and vice versa.

I think it's really hard to see Gavi will move from one of the best club into mediocre club

It's really a tough decision for many top players if they want to join Chelsea.

I think that you shall try to re-read the news again. The new contract of gavi has already been terminated by la liga. Barcelona is not having a release clause on him until the next transfer season in summer. Gavi will be leaving barcelona with free transfer season. Barcelona has no good financial condition. Barcelona will able to re-new gavi's contract as long as the financial condition of barcelona gets even better. This can be reached once barcelona will be selling so many players to make it happen. The problem is barcelona is also targeting messi at this moment.
That means barcelona is also looking for so much money to sign messi back again to the club. The chance for gavi to stay in barcelona is very small at this moment.

This is the main problem that has been facing barcelona. Some big clubs were targeting him caused by gavi can be considered a very successful footballer at his age. Chelsea was moving so fast by made a meeting with gavi's agent.
It seems like the chance for gavi to stay even longer in the club is quite small at this moment. I consider the problem that happened in barcelona may not be solved in summer.

Saturday's transfer gossip:

Chelsea are prepared to make Barcelona and Spain midfielder Gavi one of the top earners in the Premier League in order to sign the 18-year-old.
The Blues are also confident they can win the race for Napoli and Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen, 24, even without Champions League football next season. Will that happen? Chelsea wants to bring in a lot of players, but which of all their player wishes will be fulfilled in the end?
England striker Harry Kane, 29, will wait to reassess a new contract at Tottenham once the club has appointed a new manager, amid interest from Manchester United and Bayern Munich. Does this mean that there is a chance that Kane will stay at Tottenham after all the talk that he is going to a new club?
In addition to Colwill, Liverpool are also interested in Chelsea's England midfielders Conor Gallagher, 23, and Mason Mount, 24. What in the end of all these plans Liverpool will come true?

[Sterbens]

Not only Manchester united, Boely is also determined to sign Kane at any cost, but every player has the right to make their own choices as long as there is no contractual obligation tying them to a particular club. Regarding Kane's loyalty to Tottenham, he has spent his entire career with the club and has never been sold as he is a valuable asset to them. While he has been loaned out to other clubs in the past, since the termination of his loan with Leicester City, he has not been loaned out again. This has allowed him to focus on his performance and contribute significantly to Tottenham's success, leading him to become their highest goal scorer, I doubt if the guy is going to leave anytime soon for another club.

Kane is one of the best strikers. Kane has long been linked with the Tottenham exit, there are several big clubs such as Manchester United and Manchester City who are reportedly interested in him. So far Tottenham are in the top five of the standings which can be said to be a good achievement for Tottenham. I don't think Kane will be leaving Tottenham in the near future, most likely Tottenham will not sell him because this is a valuable asset for the progress of his club. Coupled with the position of Tottenham who are in the top five standings.

[KTChampions]

So far, I do not quite understand this decision by Real Madrid. if it was possible to split the players into parts, then I would think that this is a 60% replacement for Modric and 40% for Benzema  But since this cannot be done, it may turn out that it will be neither one nor the other, and there will be no result either. In addition, he is 31 years old so this is not a long-term project.

Maybe they are looking for a  reliable backup option for Benzema. Firmino has the experience and I think it's a decent move if they are targeting that. Benzema is getting old also so he also might pickup a knock and go out for a long term so in that case they need to rely on someone experienced. Getting a new player with potential is not a worthwhile as the new player will seek regular opportunities and Madrid knows they can't ditch Benzema so getting a new player isn't an option.

I feel like Firmino will go back in Brazilian league and play there. Maybe can give a year or two in the middle and then move but I feel eventually he is gonna end up there.

The only reasonable (albeit dubious) option is that Firmino is a temporary option until Real Madrid poach a new top striker like Mbappe/Haaland. Benzema will be at Real Madrid for another year but if this year is like this one when he missed a lot of games, then Real without a second striker will suffer a lot - that's what Firmino will be hired for (if will). And by the way, yes, Latino players retire early on average, so he doesn't have much time ahead of him.

Coupled with the position of Tottenham who are in the top five standings.

Valuable asset for what? Kane becomes even older and he has never achieved a great trophy in his career. To be honest. There's nothing special about him. He was just an ordinary striker that was making a record in totenham but not in EPL.
I think that any club shall try to avoid buying him from totenham. Just letting him retire in totenham will be so good. It will be far better rather than trying to waste huge amounts of money for a garbage striker like him.
What great achievement was ever achieved by him? Nothing. Even he never won EPL. Priced him 100m? it's a big joke from totenham. It will be no brainer if there was a club that wanna buy him with big amounts of money.

If Real Madrid actually wants to sign Firmino, it is a tactical move to have a strong backup for Big Benz as you guys have already said. No young and hot striker would like to go play for Madrid when Benzema is still active in the club. Honestly they cannot contest with Benzema.
The best thing to do is to get Firmino who will deliver incase of Benzema injuries and who also will not complain when he is being played from Bench.
However, it is becoming more obvious that Real Madrid will like to go with Benzema for more seasons, maybe 2 more seasons, that is why they want Firmino option

[naira]

Actually, Firmino is not very suitable for Madrid and the task he gets to cover Benzema is clearly not optimal. Even though at the moment Madrid is trying to glance at Firmino, if there are other options then it is possible that Firmino can be forgotten. This year his contract will expire even though Jurgen Klopp still wants him to stay at Liverpool. Madrid chasing Mbappe or Haaland? nothing will materialize even if Man City can raise a bigger salary for Haaland there, no one can take Haaland so far from Man City and Mbappe who arguably has disappointed Madrid many times because it gives false hope he will be tied to PSG even though Mbappe felt uncomfortable there.
